Photorearrangements of o ‐methoxystilbenoils ( 1a‐1c ) in acid media have been investigated. Irradiation of o ‐methoxystilbene ( 1c ), for example, could lead to three major rearrangement products: 2,3,4‐trihydrophenanthren‐1‐ones ( 2c ), trans ‐1‐arylbut‐2‐en‐1‐ones ( 3c ), and 1‐hydroxy‐9,10‐dihydrophenanthrenes ( 7 ). Further irradiation of trans ‐1‐arylbut‐2‐en‐1‐ones ( 3 ) could afford three more products ( 4 , 5 and 6 ). The key step for this photorearrangement is acid‐catalyzed formal [1,9] hydrogen shift. The products of the eliminative and oxidative photoreaction were also obtained; the formation of the oxidative product is due to the fact that the unfavorable methoxy group in the intermediate DHP‐3 retards the rate of acid‐catalyzed formal [1,9] hydrogen shift.
